Week of 4/9 - 4/13

We will begin to workshop the poetry analysis essays this week. You will have comments from me to review, and you will work with a minimum 2-3 different partners to help each other peer revise and edit.  

No author study project assignments are due this week, but make sure you are reading book #3 to be able to finish the project on time.  

PSR # 2 is due Thursday. Please do not print out your PSR until it has been approved. Once it is approved, you should print out the PSR along with your book log / reading plan and any other evidence. Once everything is properly placed in the LA section of your portfolio, and only then,  I will sign it.

Remember to check the important due dates on the left side of my blog to make sure you are keeping up with deadlines! Enjoy the 4-day weekend, and keep up with your reading!
